Hi Susan, Check out the documention for the Loader() Class - you'll find that the loaded swf is a child of the loader. AS3 won't unload instances while there are any references to them. You can try unloading the loader - it won't be unloadable while the 'i' variable is refering to the

Susan, I suspect that you'll also have to use the removeChild() method to remove the loader from the display list. removeChild(loader); Otherwise the display list will still have a reference to the loader object and stop the object being garbage collected. Paul - Original Message

Adrian, Flash can't write directly to a file when running in a browser. If you run in a browser the only way to write to a file will be via a server component. You'll either have to use AIR and the AIR API to write the data away. The other alternative is a technology such as Zinc to give you
